you've said his affair with paula broadwell ended four months ago. do you know why he just publicly acknowledged it last week? did something trigger that? if he was aware it was being investigated for months, did he consider resigning earlier? >> we haven't discussed the timing of it. i can only kind of surmise based on knowing him a little bit that once he knew that this was probably going to become bigger than what it was, and i don't mean to be, you know, make light of it, but he felt that it was time for him to step down and resign. if you know david petraeus and it was discussed earlier in the program, part of his internal makeup would be that he would not be able to lead an organization after this kind of an event, so he tendered his resignation which was accepted the day after he gave it. >> i think there are some people, though, who are supporters of david petraeus who would say, why not stick it out? a lot of people have respect for him, democrats and republicans, like the job he was doing. plenty of people in the world have affairs, why ste

paula broadwell you said you met her. tell me more about her and where she stands and when do you think, is there anything about her story or general petraeus' story that you have questions about? >> well, there are so many questions, so many things that we still don't know about this. paula broadwell was an attractive very fit person of quite striking physical presence. she and general petraeus famously liked to run together. she was a woman who in her 30's when she was having two children also managed to compete in triathalons. that's a person of real determination and discipline. she was strong-willed. what surprised people around general petraeus was she was a smart person but she was not intellectually gifted. general petraeus could have had any biographer in the world practically try to write his story with a kind of access that paula broadwell had. it was mystifying that he had given that access to this person whose principle intellectual achievement had been a masters from the harvard kennedy school. not to slight
